Genetic Architecture of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma in Individuals of African Descent: The African Descent and Glaucoma Evaluation Study III.

A novel association with advanced POAG in the EN04 locus was identified putatively in persons of AD.

Long-term Outcome of Argon Laser Peripheral Iridoplasty in the Management of Plateau Iris Syndrome Eyes.

The beneficial effects of ALPI last for <4 years, with the majority of patients (77%) requiring surgery. Phacoemulsification alone was a successful treatment for plateau iris in our patient population.

Comparing Gonioscopy With Visante and Cirrus Optical Coherence Tomography for Anterior Chamber Angle Assessment in Glaucoma Patients.

Comparison of Efficacy and Complications of Cyclophotocoagulation and Second Glaucoma Drainage Device After Initial Glaucoma Drainage Device Failure.

Although both second procedures are efficacious in lowering IOP and number of IOP-lowering medications, TSCPC failed earlier, whereas a second GDD had significantly more complications.

Using Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (ASOCT) Parameters to Determine Pupillary Block Versus Plateau Iris Configuration.

We propose that the pupil size parameters and PM-C-SSL angle are the most reliable novel ASOCT parameters to distinguish between PB and PIC eyes.

Outcomes of the Second Aqueous Shunt Implant Versus Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation Treatment Study: A Randomized Comparative Trial.

Short-term overall success rates were high with either SGDD or CPC. However, SGDD was associated with more clinic visits and an increased risk of additional glaucoma surgery.

Comparing the Effect of Lens Extraction With Endocycloplasty to Lens Extraction Alone in Eyes With Plateau Iris Configuration: Pilot Study.

Our study suggests that LE/ECPL is more effective than LE alone in opening the anterior chamber angle and that ECPL deepens treated angles more than untreated angles.

In Reply: Comparison of Efficacy and Complications of Cyclophotocoagulation and Second Glaucoma Drainage Device After Initial Glaucoma Drainage Device Failure.

Direct Costs of Second Aqueous Shunt Implant Versus Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation (The Assists Trial).

The total direct cost in the SGDD group was more than double that in the CPC group, driven largely by the cost of the study procedure.

Risk Factors for Diagnostic Change from Glaucoma Suspect to Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma and Vice Versa Over 2 Years.

It is important to understand risk factors for diagnostic changes in glaucoma, in order to prevent undertreatment of disease and overtreatment of suspects.

Examiner Handedness and the Effects on Intraocular Pressure Readings Using the Tono-Pen XL.

The results suggest that IOP readings are not influenced by the positioning of the patient relative to the dominant hand of the examiner.

Determination and Validation of Thresholds of Anterior Chamber Parameters by Dedicated Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography.

The parameters with the best discriminative ability for detecting narrow angles were AOD750 inferiorly, TICV500, and TICV750.

A Randomized Trial of Fixed-Dose Combination Brinzolamide 1%/Brimonidine 0.2% as Adjunctive Therapy to Travoprost 0.004.

Adjunctive treatment with BBFC added to TRAV resulted in lower mean diurnal IOP after 6 weeks of treatment compared with vehicle added to TRAV; this difference was both statistically and clinically significant.

Effect of Laser Peripheral Iridotomy on Anterior Chamber Angle Anatomy in Primary Angle Closure Spectrum Eyes.

TICV is a useful parameter to quantitatively measure the effectiveness of LPI in the treatment of eyes with PAC spectrum disease.

Variation in Number of Doses, Bottle Volume, and Calculated Yearly Cost of Generic and Branded Latanoprost for Glaucoma.

Annual cost and number of doses per bottle, factors important to patients, vary significantly depending on the manufacturer of latanoprost. Practitioners can better advise patients by being aware of these differences.

Optimal number of angle images for calculating anterior angle volume and iris volume measurements.

It is possible to determine TICV and IV parameters reliably in narrow angles without evaluating all 128 meridians obtained with SSFD-ASOCT.
